DESCRIPTION

The ITMA accepts a thermocouple or millivolt input and converts it into a 

voltage or current output. The voltage or current output is linearly proportional 

to the temperature or millivolt input. This output is ideal for interfacing to 

indicators, chart recorders, controllers, or other instrumentation equipment. 

The ITMA is DC powered. The DC power input is isolated from the signal 

input and analog output. The unit scales the analog output proportionally to the 

thermocouple or millivolt input signal. The analog output may be configured for 

one of the following: 0 to 20 mA, 4 to 20 mA, or 0 to 10 VDC. Making the 

signal conversion with the ITMA to a current output signal, makes the signal 

less susceptible to noise interference and allows accurate transmission over long 

distances. The 3-Way isolation allows the use of grounded thermocouples which 

can provide additional noise reduction benefits.

The ITMA uses a ten position DIP switch to accomplish the input sensor 

configuration, range selection, and unit calibration. A simple range setting 

technique (Field Calibration) is used so the actual input signal adjusts the output 

for scaling. This technique eliminates the need for potentiometers which are 

vulnerable to changes due to vibration.

The unit is equipped with a universal mounting foot for attachment to 

standard DIN style mounting rails, including top hat rail (T) according to EN 50 

022 - 35

SAFETY SUMMARY

All safety related regulations, local codes and instructions that appear in the 

manual or on equipment must be observed to ensure personal safety and to 

prevent damage to either the instrument or equipment connected to it. If 

equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection 

provided by the equipment may be impaired.
